COAT-LINING.

.SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 733,780, dated. July 14, 1903.

Application filed June 16, 1902. Serial No. 111,913. (No specimens.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MORRIS WEBER, a subject of the Czar of Russia, and a resident of the city of New York, East New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Coat-Lining, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to garment-linings; and its object is to provide a new and improved coat-lining having integral shoulderpads to insure proper and smooth fitting of the outer garment material without danger of creating undue ridges, creases, or humps, as

is so frequently the case when using the ordinary separate shoulder-pads.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, as will be more fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a rear face view of the improvement previous to fastening the portions together to form the scye. Fig. 2 is a front face View of the improvement, showing the parts fastened together; and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the shoulder-pad.

In the manufacture of coats and like garments as heretofore practiced the shoulderpad of the lining formed a separate and distinct part of the lining and was sewed or otherwise fastened in place independent of the lining; but in doing so the joints between the overlapping edges of the pad and the side parts of the lining formed undesirable ridges, creases, or humps, which prevented proper hanging of the outside or dress material of the coat. By making the pad and scye portions of the lining in separate parts a large amount of labor is required both in the manufacture of the garment and in the fitting of the parts in position in the garment.

With my improvement, presently to be described in detail, the above-mentioned objection is completely overcome, and the lining and its integral shoulder-pad can be readily shaped and placed in position.

the armhole or scye portions 0 C of which the portion 0 terminates in an integral shoulder-pad D, adapted to be secured at its free end to the free end of the scye port-ion 0 as plainly indicated in Fig. 2. Thus the filling C, scye portions 0 O and the shoulder-pad D are made of a single piece of material to insure proper fitting of the pad D in position in the garment without creating undue ridges, creases, humps, or the like, as is so frequently the case with the separate shoulderpads heretofore used.

By the arrangement described the shoulder-pad D has at all times a permanent relation to thelining, and as the latter is secured in'position in the garment it is evident that the shoulder-pad retains its position, and consequently the outer garment material hangs properly.

The shoulder-pad D is reinforced by padding-pieces D,superimposed one upon the other, the successive pieces diminishing in length and width, so as to decrease the thickness of the shoulder-pad around the outer edge,-while the inner edge is thickest at the middle and from there gradually tapers to the outer edge, as will be readily understood by reference to the drawings.

The lining can be cheaply manufacture and the shoulder-pad is always in proper position for the purpose previously explained.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. As a new article of manufacture, a lining having a filling formed with integral scye portions, the body portion of the filling having a straight upper edge, and a crescentshaped shoulder-pad integral with the filling and projecting from one side thereof at the upper portion, the said pad extending above the straight upper edge of the body of the filling and forming a continuation of one of the scye portions, the pad terminating at its free end above the free end of the other scye portion, and adapted to be secured thereto, as set forth.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a coatlining consisting of a body portion, a filling secured thereto and formed with integral scye portions, an integral shoulder-pad projecting laterally from the upper portion of the filling and forminga continuation of one of the scye portions the lower edge of the said shoulder-pad at its free end extending above the end of the other scye portion and adapted to be secured thereto, as set forth.

3. As a new article of manufacture, a coatlining having a body portion, a filling there on formed with integral scye portions, a curved shoulder-pad extending integrally from the filling at the upper part thereof and forming a continuation of one scye portion, the said pad terminating at its free end above the free end of the other scye portion, and adapted to be secured thereto, and superimposed padding-pieces on the said shoulderpad, the successive padding-pieces diminishing in length and Width, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. I

MORRIS WEBER.
